[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3157983, member: 15054"] Put it on and see. It will not take the coatings off of bleeder zerts. And does not eat aluminum. It lays very thin and i think is one reason it will creep in and remove rusted stuff and it is hygroscopic. Now hygroscopic may allow it to pull in moisture to bust the rust loose. Think about how rust is formed.. usually by moisture many times by chemical reaction but that is corrosion. I had a buddy try everything to break the rings loose on a dirt bike engine. soaked it with all kinds of things from diesel fuel to marvel mistory oil. The bike had sat outside with the head off laying in the weeds for over 10 years. So really rusted rings to say the least. He finally took the small engine and submerged it for a week in water. He said water makes rust and it also breaks rust. Well he must have been right because when he pulled it out you could now get the crank to turn and pistons were moving. Lots going on when trying to penetrate or soften rust. [/QUOTE]
